GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 273964
Crash when switching to calendar
Last modified: 2013-09-10 14:03:39 UTC
Switching to calendar view simply crashes with the following error message printed in the console: GThread-ERROR **: file gthread-posix.c: line 351 (): error 'Cannot allocate memory' during 'pthread_create' Using the exchange connector. Earlier the calendar worked fine, then all of the sudden it just started crashing. The first crash occurred right after creating a new task, but since then any attempt to switch to calendar crashes. The stack trace indicates evolution ends up creating new threads in an endless loop until around 256 threads it just crashes.
Created attachment 45009 [details] stack trace
After removing calendar and tasks cache.ics the crash goes away (until the next time...)
Can you provide your cache.ics file if possible.
What distro/kernel is this?
Unfortunately I can't provide the cache. This is RH9 (derivative) with 2.4.20-33.9 kernel.
Fixed in CVS
This bug is not reproducible in evolution 2.3.x, hence changing state of the bug to 'verified. Reporter can reopen the bug if this bug is reproducible in his setup with evolution 2.3.x client.
